I had a Motorola phone between 2005-2007. It could be set to 24 hr. Then I got a Motorola KRZR. The Verizon version showed 12-hr only; Verizon had locked out the software for no reason. I now have a BlackBerry Storm. BlackBerry, and not Verizon, controls the phone, and it can be set to 24-hr. In fact, when I plug in the charger cord, the display changes to a huge 24-hour time display, white numbers on a gray background.

It's just sometimes, they seem so insistent on forcing ifp-only down your throat it's hard-to-believe you can actually get around it.

I have the 6800 currently, had the 6700 before that. The screen shown in the photo is the HTC home screen, it will show a quite large 24 hour clock if you set your preferences to 24 hour time. The AM/PM indicator goes away as well. I have the same home screen on my 6800, I can take a screenshot for you if you'd like. -Mike Nat Hager III wrote: > Even this model? > > http://shop.vzw.com/?id=Verizon+Wireless+XV6900+PDA/Smartphone > <http://shop.vzw.com/?id=Verizon+Wireless+XV6900+PDA/Smartphone§ion=1> > §ion=1 > > (God this would PO me if this was hardwired to AM/PM-only) > > Nat > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected] <> ] On > Behalf Of Michael Palumbo > Sent: Wednesday, 2009 February 18 16:49 > To: U.S. Metric Association > Cc: U.S. Metric Association > Subject: [USMA:43065] Re: Hot and dry > > > Quite right.
